    Still not sure what this is in the front garden, now it's in leaf it resembles an Acer Cissifolium but may not even be an Acer.
    Whatever it is it's not healthy and may have to come out sometime.

    Yep, Sycamore. With seeds, the biggest weed there is. Cheers, Tony.

    Yep, it looks like and Acer Strongy.
    Probably not A. pseudoplatanus, (sycamore) though.
    It looks more ornamental.

    Not well up on Acers, sorry.

    Nor am I, I don't think it's a Sycamore, leaves are too small although it does have some winged seed pods coming.
